How to deal with Editor-only Modules in non-Editor build targets?

Okey, found the solution, here:

UnrealEd Dependency Causes Package Failure

Working code from 2020. *.Build.cs: using UnrealBuildTool; public class TanksVr : ModuleRules { public TanksVr(ReadOnlyTargetRules target) : base(target) { PCHUsage = PCHUsageMode.UseExplicitOrSharedPCHs; bEnforceIWYU = true; PublicDependencyModuleNames.AddRange(new ] { "Core", "CoreUObject", "Engine", "PhysXVehicles", "HeadMountedDisplay", …

Changing module “Type” did nothing in my case.

I merged the two modules back to only one and used the following condition in [plugin].Build.cs :

if (Target.bBuildEditor)
{
    PublicDependencyModuleNames.AddRange(new string[]{"UnrealEd",});
}

I also had to wrap every header that comes from “UnrealEd” with #if WITH_EDITOR

My project finally compiles to Shipping
